Indeed, lets refer to your previous point. I believe you are saying that despite being offered
the more capable aircraft
the IRCG either
voted on price, or CHC need to figure out why they are just not competitive on SAR anymore
. Now if the MoS is to be believed not only did CHC offer the highest capability and the IRCG didn't vote on price how exactly would you expect CHC to be more competitive?
From some of the posts above, and recent media articles, it is very clear CHC are now trying to run the race after its finished. The fact they didn't make the case before or during the tender smacks a little of either complacency or lack of commercial ability. It's a sad look for what was a great icon of the industry.
Genuine question, if CHC did in fact provide the lowest cost, lowest risk, highest capability tender how did they fail to make the case during the tender?
